Affordable Housing Lottery Opens For Bed-Stuy Project On Marcus Garvey

BED-STUY, NY — A new affordable housing development in Bed-Stuy will ask renters to make 130 percent of the area median income, or at least $80,572 per year to rent.

Six units recently hit the city's affordable housing lottery in the property on Marcus Garvey Boulevard between Fulton and Decatur Streets, and they will all require the 130 percent benchmark.

Applicants for the one-bedroom apartments — which the lottery system will allow to house up to three people — will be capped at a $128,570 salary, while three applicants can apply with up to $165,230.

Tenants will also pay for their electricity including stove, heat and hot water, according to NYC Housing Connect.

The property is touted as a new luxury build offering "everything anyone could need from a new build" including new stainless steel kitchen appliances, a rooftop deck and fitness facilities.

The apartment also features a package room and storage units, and each unit has an in-unit washer and dryer.
